Echoes Of Silence Poem by Don Subba

It speaks no words
Yet shakes my soul
Quiet on my heart
But heavy as stone
Pain wears a face
Called silence tonight
Truth hides within
Where darkness meets light

Tears trapped inside
Where no one can see
If silence can speak
What's left of me?

Sound of silence
Calling my name
Speaking the truth
Through all of my pain
Sound of silence
Don't let me fall
When nothing remains
You answer it all

A voice without sound
Breaks through the night
Scars start to fade
When I stop the fight
This broken world
Can't steal my flame
Silence reminds me
I'm not the same

Lost in the dark
I searched for the light
Silence became
My strength to survive

Sound of silence
Calling my name
Speaking the truth
Through all of my pain
Sound of silence
Guide me back home
When I embrace you
I'm never alone

Sound of silence
Calling my name
Speaking the truth
Through all of my pain
Sound of silence
Don't let me fall
When nothing remains
You answer it all
